    Nothing special about the letters, though there is a small amount of machine doubling on CENT... no numismatic premium for that. Cheers, RickO

    Nothing stands out to me other than a fingerprint on the obverse and what looks like corrosion or something on the reverse.

    Perhaps if you were more specific in what you are referring to?

    Minor strike doubling. Quite common.

  • I mean the letters on the reverse.

    'Shadows' of letters that extend towards the rim is usually caused by die deterioration.

    You are wasting your time and eyesight looking for "stuff" like this. It is a cent that is worth one cent.

    As others have said, it looks like die deterioration caused by an overused die. It's common and adds no value.

    Agree Die deterioration.
